Burnham will eventually make a run for the Labour leadership, that was always his plan. And Neville, having announced recently he has joined Labour, will probably have a go at becoming his successor. Though his blatant links to united and Chinese buy to let investors mean it would be far from certain he would get in

Looking at past Lord Mayors and the present one I dont think you need any special skills to be Lord Mayor. Now to be a football manager you do need some skills and it was obvious little Gaz didn't have them in the few weeks he tried, dismally.
Edit. This was a reply to @Inter Me Nan

He would not be Lord Mayor, he would be trying for Andy Burnham’s job as en elected mayor, as below :)

An elected Mayor (or a 'Metro Mayor') is a city-region leader directly elected by the people. The Localism Act (2011) made the provision for the creation of directly elected mayors. A Lord Mayor or Civic Mayor is a ceremonial representative with no formal powers.

2 rules I'd immediately change in football are:

1. Scrap Offside completely. It gives needless advantages to a defending team for absolutely no sensible reason and the judging of it and the disallowing of great goals just cannot be justified any longer. This is an entertainment businesses and being caught offside or pmaying offside offers no entertainment whatsoever.

2. Scrap Penalty Kicks and introduce Penalty goals for when a foul or handball has stopped a certain goal. This would in an instant end players diving to win penalties and penalties being awarded for non goal preventing handballs. If it's an intentional handball then as in any other part of the field of play it's merely a free kick. If the hand ball was like Suarez in the World Cup and effectively a save then there is a goal awarded.

Just those 2 things would cut back on cheating and any bloody need for VAR anyway and I can guarantee it would be a better watch.

How would it stop diving? You’ve just guaranteed a goal not even a pen.

I’ve seen a pre season game played with no off side. I think it was part of an Anglo- Scottish pre season competition. I’ve also played in an amateur football pre season tournament with no off side. On both occasions it was farcical and it most certainly didn’t add to the entertainment value.

Your second point doesn’t really make much sense, as it suggests no players ever dive for free kicks currently. I also think you’re s bit misguided if you think a referee having to decide if a foul had stopped a “certain goal” would be without controversy.

I think you will find he managed Valencia very well.
When he left he certainly had more money in his bank account than when he arrived 6 months earlier.
I have always said that was straight forward money laundering. Peter Lam needed money out the club ..........

I think I have to insert the word allegedly in there somewhere.

Well done on giving a serious reply to that absolute nonsense.

I tried but then deleted it.

We sent aid to Rwanda. Part of which they spent on sleeve and hoarding sponsorship at Arsenal
Double bubble state funding, but little or no mention

I played a game at uni with a lad who was severely hungover even at 2pm but unilaterally decided to drop a gram of speed beforehand, to see if it was performance enhancing
He ran about like a lunatic for 15 minutes then collapsed, hurling his guts out and shaking like a shitting dog, almost on the verge of cardiac arrest
Sometimes the simple solutions aren’t actually the best
PS this was the law society team…

Fair point. I took some pure yellow squidgy amphetamine years ago on route to a group fight at a fair. Felt well up for it on the way, got attacked from behind, ran off and spent the whole night deep in a paranoid psychosis which resulted in me hiding in a cupboard after spending hours watching the cloaked ninjas from another estate shine torches into my window as a battle warning. The morning comedown 2 day wank was next level though tbf so I can't complain.

Quite an interesting story that I wasn't really expecting to read on the media thread.

Haha yes mate, 1990s
One of our players, the centre half, is currently chairman of a club in the championship
Another guy couldn’t play to save his life and wasn’t even good enough to be a sub for the mediocre law society team. Now a very very senior figure in Scottish football

Remember the lockdown game v Villa at ours, when Bernardo came back from an offside position, robbed Mings then we scored? The media wanted that goal disallowed, so PGMOL changed the interpretation of the law to rule out goals where someone had come back from an offside position.

When Coutinho does exactly that, and a goal against us is ruled out, the media scream that it's unfair and the law is wrong, totally forgetting they screamed exactly the opposite a couple of years ago.
